Kyle Miller, a mechanic who goes by @kylemiller2217 on TikTok, posted a video of a Toyota truck he worked on, and it might cause you to get your hearing checked.<\/p>\n
Miller strolls around the back of the blue pickup to the truck bed and shows off a series of cables and a neon yellow remote. <\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, customer just brought this new Toyota truck in,\u201d Miller says in the video. \u201cHe said he wanted a backup beeper. He said he left the part in the truck. And as soon as he left, I looked at him. I said, \u2018Yeah. Yeah. I don\u2019t know about that.\u2019 Listen to this [expletive] thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miller presses a button and then unleashes a piercing beep, powerful enough to echo out of the building and down the street. But is a custom beeper something that regular people can actually just install in their trucks?<\/p>\n
Anyone can install a beeper if they want, although not everyone needs one. <\/p>\n
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires<\/a> an audible reverse alarm\u2014or a spotter\u2014any time a driver\u2019s rear view is obstructed. Mining vehicles fall under similar rules from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). The alarm has to be loud enough to stand out over background noise.<\/p>\n That means a custom backup beeper is legal, as long as it meets those standards. In fact, newer \u201cbroadband\u201d or white-noise alarms<\/a> are becoming more popular because they get the job done without the piercing shriek embraced by Miller\u2019s Toyota-driving customer.<\/p>\n So, truck owners who love mods can rejoice. They can add beepers to the list of lift kits, custom exhaust pipes, and aftermarket lights that they already add to trucks. But for drivers that don\u2019t need them legally, which should include most pickup truck owners, why deafen yourself with unnecessary beeping?<\/p>\n The answer might be being obnoxious.<\/p>\n \u201cObnoxious,\u201d TikTok user \u201cTheRealSodi\u201d wrote in response to Miller\u2019s video. \u201cI need one for each of mine now.\u201d<\/p>\n Another user going by \u201cTeddy Bear\u201d wrote that it\u2019s good for getting attention.<\/p>\n \u201cHad one on my truck a long time ago so people would stop trying to not see me backing up,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n Motor1<\/em> reached out to Kyle Miller through TikTok\u2019s direct messaging service but didn\u2019t immediately receive a response.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kyle Miller, a mechanic who goes by @kylemiller2217 on TikTok, posted a video of a Toyota truck he worked on, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4552,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4550"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4550"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4553,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4550\/revisions\/4553"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.undergroundz.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
